Option two is better.
Option one is more fun . . but not as usable. That really is too bad.
I hope I'm not disappointing you. to quote you, it just looks like a 'monstrosity' when you try to use it.
What if you went back to a chocolate cake and kept the top light colored frosting but got rid of the lower row of frosting in the middle? Maybe thatd help the icons and font look better?
1. Chocolate just doesn't work in the overall color scheme and as limiting as any skin is with icons, as far as matching 'em up, the chocolate would really limit your choices.
2.
Removing the cemter layer of icing is an option. What say you all?try to change color of text ..
Tried several colors. The most readable is black and it just takes away from the cake. It dulls the whole menu, if that makes sense.
with some adjustmentz it'll look fantastic
This open for all to agree or disagree on. I'll go with what the majority wants. The new menu can be dressed up with balloons and such. The cake and present can be moved around (Put it up top with the intention of having the animated candle up there on it). I will post some different versions, including a cake with no middle icing.
but not as usable.
That's my biggest problem. Maybe it's cause I'm not good enough and that is why the cake doesn't work, but it looks more like an interesting concept than something someone would actually use for a day. I want it to be unique and stay on the theme, but also something that won't be an eyestrain to use. It should be fun.
